Aquatic Plants 
With your water lilies you will need other plants. Surely the Lotus and then other aquatics. We have the floating; the 
oxygenating or under-the-water plants; the shallow water plants; the marsh plants; the ferns and the perennial plants; 
for margins or borders. We do not attempt to list them all and thereby confuse you, but we do list the best of each. 
Floating Plants 
WATER HYACINTH. A very showy, interesting floating 
plant. Glossy green leaves. Flowers are borne on a stem 
about one foot high. Six to eight flowers in a spike. 
Flowers are pale blue. Killed by frost and should be 
treated as an annual. 
Price, 50c for 6; $1.00 per dozen. 
WATER POPPY. A very small plant producing large 
yellow poppy flowers. Its roots should be planted in the 
soil. 50c for 4; $1.25 per dozen. 
WATER LETTUCE (Shell Flower). A very ornamental 
aquatic plant. Floats on the surface and is four to six 
inches across. It likes the shade. It has blue green fluted
